THE CHALLENGES OF FLYING DJI MAVIC 3 DRONES IN THE DARK
Drone pilots face substantial difficulties when utilizing DJI Mavic 3 drones in nighttime or low-light missions. The darkness hinders the ability to see, capture visual data with colors, and make real-time decisions. Lack of visibility increases the risk of collisions with hazards such as powerlines and trees. These challenges jeopardize the safety of drone operations and the effectiveness of emergency response efforts.
Existing drone lighting solutions for DJI Mavic 3 have critical limitations that hinder efficient nighttime mission sets:
- Fixed Light Angle: For fixed light solutions, pilots often must pre-set drone light angles. A misjudgment means recalling the drone for adjustment, wasting time and affecting efficiency.
- Insufficient Brightness: Many drone lights can’t illuminate past 50 feet in altitude with full field of view, restricting the camera’s vision and operational range in darkness. Additionally, the payload-SDK-port (PSDK) on enterprise drones lacks the power to deliver high-intensity brightness levels.
- Lack of 90-degree Downward Angle: Some lights can’t point straight down or illuminate the whole field of view, hindering tasks like mapping or direct data capture beneath the drone.
- Mounting Delays: Attaching certain lights can take valuable time, delaying immediate emergency responses.
- High Costs: Many efficient solutions involve investing in costly professional drones with lights, ground lighting, or renting helicopters, but these can introduce financial strain and may not always be readily available for immediate deployment, potentially affecting response times.
Addressing these limitations is crucial to enhance situational awareness, safety and efficiency during missions in the dark.

The Automoving light is here to transform drone operations in darkness, revolutionizing how drone pilots illuminate their missions. Say goodbye to vision constraints and elevate to an era where unparalleled situational awareness, utmost safety, and increased efficiency lead the way.
For public safety professionals, inspection teams, and commercial pilots, this is the ultimate drone lighting solution. It not only elevates illumination standards but is also a cost-effective alternative to larger drones with lighting, helicopter usage, or less efficient third-party lights.
KEY FEATURES
Powerful 10,000 Lumens Brightness: This is the world’s brightest Automoving drone light for the DJI Mavic 3. It provides unparalleled illumination exactly where you need it. This empowers your mission to see the big picture in the dark, like in broad daylight.
Camera-Tracking Drone Light: The patented solution utilizes computer vision to automatically track your camera’s direction. This ensures optimal lighting in every angle and field of view, ultimately enhancing your situational awareness. Additionally, the light can point straight down 90 degrees, making it perfect for illuminating and capturing visual data directly beneath the drone.
Continuous Lighting with Rechargeable External Batteries: The Automoving light’s battery life matches the drone’s flight time[1]. Both light and drone battery can be quickly swapped when landing, ensuring uninterrupted operation limited only by your reserves.
Perfectly Designed for DJI Mavic 3: Easily mount or remove the light for swift take-off and packing, optimizing response times. Designed for operation directly via your DJI controller, it’s compatible with all versions of DJI Mavic 3, including Enterprise.
Built-in FAA-Compliant Anti-Collision Lights: Two high-intensity anti-collision (strobe) lights are integrated and visible from 3 statute miles, for safer flying at night. The green strobes, flashing 60 times per minute, help to maintain visual line of sight and alert other aircraft of your drone’s presence.
Robust and Reliable: The Tundra Drone Automoving light is designed with durability in mind, being both dust and water repellent. Engineered using robust materials and high-quality components, it’s built to last. Furthermore, its design and mounting system ensure minimal maintenance across countless operations.
